understood as offering to provide, legal services for that matter.

when a significant motive for the LLP’s doing so is the LLP’s or firm’s pecuniary gain,

unless the contact is with a:

(1) lawyer or an LLP;

(2) person who has a family, close personal, or prior business or professional relationship with the LLP or firm; or

(3) person who routinely uses for business purposes the type of legal services offered

by the LLP.

(c) An LLP shall not solicit professional employment even when not otherwise

prohibited by paragraph (b), if:

(1) the target of the solicitation has made known to the LLP a desire not to be solicited

by the LLP; or

(2) the solicitation involves coercion, duress or harassment.

(d) Reserved.

(e) This Rule does not prohibit communications authorized by law or ordered by a

court or other tribunal.

(f) Every communication from an LLP soliciting professional employment shall:

(1) include the words ‘‘Advertising Material’’ on the outside envelope, if any, and at

the beginning and ending of any recorded or electronic communication, unless the recipient of the communication is a person specified in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2) or (b)(3);

(2) not reveal on the envelope or on the outside of a self-mailing brochure or pamphlet

communication is a person specified in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2) or (b)(3).

(g) Notwithstanding the prohibitions in this Rule, an LLP may participate with a
